When looking at dates on the site, how the local TZ and the proper date formatting for the locale.

With a language of en-US, in Kansas City, the date formatting looks like this:

With a language of en-GB, in London, the date formatting looks like this:

And the archive page looks like this:

And the front page looks like this:

To test in Chrome

  1. In your OS, change your timezone to London / GMT
  2. In Chrome, go to Settings >> Languages >> Add Language
  3. Add "English (United Kingdom)"
  4. In the Languages section, click the Kebab menu for "English (United Kingdom) and select "Move to the Top"
  5. In this branch, run make watch, click on the URL the command gives you. Navigate around and watch the date and time.
  6. Change your OS timezone back to local and in Chrome Settings, move "English (United Kingdom) to where it was originally or delete it.
  7. Refresh the browser. Navigate around and watch the date and time.

Note: You might need to restart your browser after changing your chrome language

In some places, it's already Friday and I don't know if it's the 2nd or 3rd Friday of the month. So, I've rethought this feature.

We'll show 24-hr time and show when the next meeting is according to the user's locale and TZ. We're still showing that it's always the 2nd Thursday using Eastern and Pacific timezones.
